< Nehemiah 6 >

1 And it comes to pass, when it has been heard by Sanballat, and Tobiah, and by Geshem the Arabian, and by the rest of our enemies, that I have built the wall, and there has not been left in it a breach (also, until that time I had not set up the doors in the gates),
Un notikās, kad Sanbalats un Tobija un Arābs Gešems un mūsu citi ienaidnieki dzirdēja, ka mēs to mūri bijām uzcēluši un iekš tā caurums neatlikās, (jebšu es līdz šim durvis vēl nebiju iecēlis vārtos),
2 that Sanballat sends, also Geshem, to me, saying, “Come and we meet together in the villages, in the Valley of Ono”; and they are thinking to do to me evil.
Tad Sanbalats un Gešems pie manis sūtīja un lika sacīt: nāc, saiesim kopā Onus klajuma ciemos. Bet tie domāja, man ļaunu darīt.
3 And I send to them messengers, saying, “A great work I am doing, and I am not able to come down; why does the work cease when I let it alone, and have come down to you?”
Un es sūtīju vēstnešus pie tiem un liku sacīt: man liels darbs darāms, ka nevaru nonākt; kāpēc šim darbam būs kavēties, ka es to pamestu un pie jums nonāktu?
4 And they send to me, according to this word, four times, and I return them [word] according to this word.
Un tie gan četras reizes pie manis sūtīja ar šo pašu valodu, un es sūtīju pie tiem atpakaļ ar to pašu valodu.
5 And Sanballat sends to me, according to this word, a fifth time, his servant, and an open letter in his hand;
Tad Sanbalats piektā reizē pie manis sūtīja savu puisi tāpat ar neaiztaisītu grāmatu viņa rokā. Iekš tās bija rakstīts:
6 it is written in it, “Among the nations it has been heard, and Gashmu is saying: You and the Jews are thinking to rebel, therefore you are building the wall, and you have been to them for a king—according to these words!
Ļaudis dzird, un Gešems saka, ka tu ar tiem Jūdiem domā atkāpties un tāpēc to mūri uztaisi, un ka tu viņiem gribi būt par ķēniņu, - tā runā, -
7 And also, you have appointed prophets to call for you in Jerusalem, saying, A king [is] in Judah, and now it is heard by the king according to these words; and now come, and we take counsel together.”
Ka tu arī praviešus iecēlis, kas lai izsauc par tevi Jeruzālemē un saka: viņš ir ķēniņš iekš Jūda. Un nu ķēniņš tādu valodu dzirdēs; nāc tad jel un lai mēs kopā sarunājamies.
8 And I send to him, saying, “It has not been according to these words that you are saying, for from your own heart you are devising them”;
Bet es sūtīju pie viņa sacīdams: no tā, ko tu runā, nekas nav noticis; no savas sirds tu to esi izdomājis.
9 for all of them are making us afraid, saying, “Their hands are too feeble for the work, and it is not done”; and now, strengthen my hands.
Jo visi tie mūs baidīja un sacīja: viņu rokām būs no tā darba atstāties, ka tas netop darīts. Un nu, stiprini Tu, (ak Dievs), manas rokas.
10 And I have entered the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah, son of Mehetabeel—and he is restrained—and he says, “Let us meet at the house of God, at the inside of the temple, and we shut the doors of the temple, for they are coming to slay you—indeed, by night they are coming to slay you.”
Kad es nu nācu Šemajas namā, - tas bija Delajas, Mehetabeēļa dēla, dēls, (bet viņš bija ieslēdzies), tad viņš sacīja: sanāksim Dieva namā, pašā Dieva nama vidū, un lai mēs Dieva nama durvis aizslēdzam, jo tie nāks, tevi nokaut, pašā naktī tie nāks, tevi nokaut.
11 And I say, “A man such as I—does he flee? And who as I, that goes into the temple, and lives? I do not go in.”
Bet es sacīju: vai tādam vīram, kā es, būs bēgt? Vai tādam, kā es, Dieva namā būs iet, lai paliktu dzīvs? Es neiešu.
12 And I discern, and behold, God has not sent him, for in the prophecy he has spoken to me both Tobiah and Sanballat hired him,
Jo redzi, es manīju, ka Dievs viņu nebija sūtījis. Bet viņš runāja šo sludināšanu uz mani, tāpēc ka Tobija un Sanebalats viņu bija derējuši.
13 so that he [is] a hired worker, that I may fear and do so, and I had sinned, and it had been to them for an evil name that they may reproach me.
Viņš bija derēts, lai es izbīstos un tā daru un apgrēkojos, ka tie kādu ļaunu slavu atrastu, ar ko mani varētu nievāt.
14 Be mindful, O my God, of Tobiah, and of Sanballat, according to these his works, and also, of Noadiah the prophetess, and of the rest of the prophets who have been making me afraid.
Piemini, mans Dievs, Tobiju un Sanbalatu pēc šiem darbiem un arī pravieti Noadiju un tos citus praviešus, kas ir meklējuši, mani darīt bailīgu!
15 And the wall is completed in the twenty-fifth of Elul, on the fifty-second day;
Tad nu tas mūris tapa pabeigts Elula mēneša divdesmit piektā dienā, piecdesmit divās dienās.
16 and it comes to pass, when all our enemies have heard, and all the nations who are all around us see, that they fall greatly in their own eyes, and know that by our God has this work been done.
Un kad visi mūsu ienaidnieki to dzirdēja, tad visi apkārtējie pagāni bijās un viņu drošība zuda, jo tie samanīja, ka šis darbs ar mūsu Dieva palīgu bija padarīts.
17 Also, in those days the nobles of Judah are multiplying their letters going to Tobiah, and those of Tobiah are coming to them;
Tanīs dienās arī daudz virsnieki no Jūda rakstīja grāmatas; tās tapa sūtītas pie Tobijas, un Tobija sūtīja atkal pie tiem.
18 for many in Judah are sworn to him, for he [is] son-in-law to Shechaniah son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan has taken the daughter of Meshullam son of Berechiah;
Jo daudzi iekš Jūda viņam bija zvērējuši, tāpēc ka tas bija Šehanijas, Arahus dēla, znots, un viņa dēls Jehohanans bija apņēmis Mešulama, Bereķijas dēla, meitu.
19 also, they have been speaking of his good deeds before me, and they have been taking my words out to him; Tobiah has sent letters to make me afraid.
Tie runāja arīdzan labu par viņu manā priekšā, un manus vārdus tie nonesa pie viņa; tad Tobija sūtīja grāmatas, ka tas mani biedinātu.
